LN2 cooling is not a practical cooling solution. Extreme overclockers use it merely to see how far they can actually push a chip, not as something they'd be daily driving.

And they commonly end by frying the system.  A “drive it till the wheels come off”kind of thing.  Or perhaps drag racing would be a better analogy. Machines built so they would work only for one run and would have to be rebuilt for every race.  Sub ambient cooling of any kind has physics problems.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

as in LN2 overclocking? A lot of work, lots of refilling, lots of vaseline mess, frozen over PCBs, gas torching to get the TIM flexible again...

 

In a closed system? Condensation and most likely a heck load of instability and weird things since electronic chips can actually get too cold to properly work.
